I have tried reproducing the issue in safe mode to rule out problems with unsupported custom resources.
Describe the issue you are experiencing
Currently the explanation for switching off "Visible" for entities is as follows:
The first part of the explanation is misleading as it says "… will not be shown on your dashboard …".
There are multiple dashboards today, so there is not a single one like this is implying.
You can still place any hidden entity on your dashboards.
So this refers to the auto-populated"Default dashboard" type, only.
Describe the behavior you expected
Overall I think it's pretty obvious that a hidden entity will in fact be hidden by default (on an auto-populated dashboard), so explaining that in all detail is probably overkill and adds too much noise here.
Instead it might be best to simply remove that part of the sentence to bring the much more important second part into focus here:
Hidden entities will not be included when indirectly referenced (ie via an area or device). …
Or even more to the point:
Hidden entities will not be included when their area, device or label is referenced. …
That should include all indirect references available in an action.
"hidden_explanation": "Hidden entities will not be shown on your dashboard or included when indirectly referenced (ie via an area or device). Their history is still tracked and you can still interact with them with actions.",
What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
